Homes Poems

When they failed black kids without homes

Her hair stood out
Reaching for the skies
Wishing on every star at night
Someone would hear her cries
Her need to have a life she doesn't just have to survive 

The chaos of hair confused
Unsure how to keep it or what to do
She is the only one in the room
That had hair that flew 
Just a child without

Hobnobbing With The Hoi Polloi

With a stiff upper lip and old school tie
still it's just not cricket
but the upper crust they say
are on a sticky wicket
to pay the estate or make ends meet
they have conducted tours
of stately homes safari parks
and the family jewels
we used to go to Scarborough Southend-on-Sea
Bognor Brighton Blackpool
have fish 'n' chips for tea
but now for fifty

"In the USA, vacant homes by thousands thrive, 
while countless homeless struggle to survive. 
In a land of plenty, such homes stand bare, 
as lost souls grow, wandering in despair."

Light Among Many Homes

Thousands of light among many homes
There's one light that reserves for you
Waiting for you that you can come in
And who cares for you that calls it home
As you resides day by day love is accustom
Courage is burning and keep light shining
Being together always is like cooking nice food
The belly is well-fed for relationship to bloom
Sometimes,

Scare the snakes out

All rabbits chased out of their holes,
Snakes now make their burrows their own:
Their venom, their flight it controls.
All rabbits chased out of their holes.
How to scare out the snakes, their goals?
The snakes not worried, as they moan.
All rabbits chased out of their holes,
Snakes now make their burrows their homes.

Let's respect our two homes

Time to be respectable
I live in two homes in my mind
I’m both Frida and Diego
Like me, they lived in Twin Houses
The tortured me lives in the blue one
The elephant in the red and white
The one that plows through life
The one that gives a son a ride
Today I’m the dove in a steel corset

I and I

Not All Dogs Have Homes

There are certain colours in the world that dogs can't see.
There's a dog in my neighbourhood,
Always alone,
Always sitting patiently,
As if he's waiting for something, or someone.
They say he ran away from his home on his own.
He couldn't sit and he couldn't sleep.
So he ran as far away as he could.
Now he waits to see if
